Next time with 800 you can buy an oled monitor with high refresh rate, no need to bother with all these nonsense, some so called enthusiast keyboard with those 'sound good' type have some fundamental flaw resulting in unusual high latency 10+20+, and the main reason is because a lot of them are not electronic manufacturers and can't even properly build a piece of electronic.
Keyboard wired latency should be around 5ms or lower, otherwise it's a huge red flag already.
I see those YouTube video they put their ear beside the keyboard and keep tapping the keyboard and it make them very happy like some autistic person.
This excessive obsession with the sound of a keyboard is literally a kind of mental illness spreading, and make people around hypersensitive to it.
haha...
keyboard latency of those budget boards is good with 1000mhz polling rate, when i use it to game, got no difference when i was using corsair and razer gaming keyboards with supposedly gaming grade latency. Even if these gaming boards have better latency in their specsheet, it is very miniscule in real world usage. If u compare bluetooth connectivity, yes i can feel the sluggishness when gaming, but with wired or 2,4ghz, the budget boards do well as well.
Alot of times items are price very high/premium due to branding and marketing or its availablity. Expensive boards maybe have limited manufactured numbers thus bringing the price way up, ( paying more for the limited stock, group buy etc) but in terms of value, performance and usage, to be honest no vast difference with 2024 budget boards.
i not so overly obessed with the keyboard sounds like those enthusiasts are, otherwise long ago will be heavily invested in keyboards. but since i was looking at keyboards, and saw how budget boards are now made to be modded so good out of the box that dont need any other mods for it to sound good, so why not, since its so cheap from taobao. i literally spend like $30 to $40 for just one board and it so good right out of the box, i just need change keycaps and feels premium to me already with all the features i need.
Its the same like people buy hype and limited edition shoes. Last time i also buy adidas yeezy, NMD, ultraboost.. few years ago the price damn expensive, resell value can sell to even 1k sgd. But its all just branding, the value from it, the materials also lousy...all my expensive shoes now all spoilt because i rarely wear them since wfh after covid.. materials no diff to those cheap models.
So if a budget board does as well as an expensive board, dont see a reason to buy an expensive one haha.. unless of course its more for aesthetic or the material. but somehow now i prefer plastic over aluminium for its sound signature and i benefit from it since plastic is cheaper anyway.
on the topic of oled monitors, yes i spend alot on them, i change alot as well. Yes i pay premium price for it and it lacks value to be honest. Just like my latest purchase of the Asus ROG PG34WCDM ultrawide. The price is stupid at $1750 ish compared to alienware AW3423dwf at $900+ and the difference is only 240hz vs 165hz. I couldnt wait for other models to surface as i prefer 240hz, so pay premiuim price lor...
